Dear Pojo,
  I've become quite an avid reader of your site and love it.  During my
surfing of the Single Card Evals. I came across that "Golem: The Future
of Fighting" article, which got me researching my obsession in Fossil,
Dragonite.

Here are his stats.
Pokemon No.: 149
Type: Colorless
Evolution: Stage 2 - from Dragonair
Name: Dragonite
Level: 45
HP: 100
Weakness: None
Resistance: Fighting -30
Retreat Cost: 1
Attacks:
Power: Rush to Aid: Use from the bench, and once per turn only.  Switch
your 
Active Pokemon with this one.  This power may not be used if this card
is 
Asleep, Confused or Paralyzed.
[4] Slam (40x) Flip 2 coins.  Does 40 damage times the number of heads.

  First off let's look at his attack.  For four colorless energy you
can use a supercharged attack from the Dragonair stage.  With the
capability to do 80 damage it is quite potent...but the chance of doing
0 damage also makes slam and all fliped-coin attacks doubled edged. 
Alright, so I wouldn't have chosen Slam as his attack, it would have
been cooler if his attack was something like "Hyper Beam, 40 damage, if
your opponent has any energy cards attached to the defending Pokemon,
choose up to two to discard".  Still Slam is an OK attack.
  Next up is the Pokemon Power.  Again, it is average. Could in a pinch
though provide an escape route for something that has been hit by an
energy removal or is asleep or paralzyed.  
  Dragonite also has the all powerful resistence to fighting.  This
could screw everyone up who's using Dragonair as psychic shield.  Still
this could open up new uses for the dragons in other decks where would
not be considered.
  Now the big question...will he be worth the wait?  To die hard lovers
of Dragonite(The Game version mind you) of course he will be.  In the
cards however he will be of some use, but not as much I would have
hoped.  His variable attack and being a 2-Stage evolution put him at a
disadvantage.  Although his resistence and cheap retreat cost of 1
energy come close to making up for his faults....so, will you be able
to stand the wait?
(Sorry for the obscenely long article)
